A big congrats to Connie! I spent a long time browsing her BIG gallery and I finally chose her Fire up the Grill] to case. I kept the food theme and general layout, but used different images, made mine a little recipe book and I had to tilt my image and sentiment to better fit.
This little recipe book project took a little longer than I planned on. I started w/ a little spiral bound book w/ hard covers and remade it. After taking the covers off and removing all the pages, I recovered the front and back w/ paper I stamped w/ the gingham bg and the recipe icons. Â For the big image, I used the baking table image and die cut w/ a rectangle before attaching to the die cut recipe card.
Congrats again, Connie! Enjoy your week! Thanks so much for looking. My blog:The Write Stuff. Sorry! I had to delete a bunch of really old posts from my blog & this is one of them.
